Death is More A Threat

I had to write this for a class. It is about death being short and arriving with no warning. Life is often referred to as limited, but this is a new perspective regarding both life and death.

How often do our fathers tell us how Not long is life, so live with no regret? Yet I say death is more a threat to thou It so arrives too swift, the quickest yet. Yes, time and life exist composed as one, With Time the final judge, a perfect squad; But Death still works alone, depends on none His speed so quick that Time can’t act but awed. Some speak of being gracious for our time And thanking our sweet Lord for every breath; While good is this, all men will face a time When life, cut not short, but stolen by death. This Death is near still when secure you stay, Don’t mind it, just you live the life you may.
